L'anamour

Je t'aime et je crains

De m'égarer

Et je sème des grains

De pavot sur les pavés

Prada's "Fever"

Wow there truly is some wonderful shift in fashion world. Celebrating plus size, for one. Such a fab idea for Prada hiring Victoria's Secret models for its show and Louis Vuitton too. Also the comebacks of some Too-old-for-catwalk models, some of them are even in their -gasp!- 40s, such as Kristen McMenamy and Stella Tenant. Even the 47 year old Elle Macpherson walked for Louis Vuitton.

Speaking of movement, Prada's finally come up with a marvelous creation for their Fall Winter campaign. Guess what? Iconic model Angela Lindvall sang sultrily in a video to match the prints ads! If you ask me, it sure brings the engaging ads to life! Moreover, the song "Fever" is my absolute favorite, it got the 60-ish vibe that makes me wanna sway and swing! I fell in love with it since I first heard it on Factory Girl (you know, when the Andy Warhol guy saw Sienna Miller dancing in the apartment).

"...never know how much I love you..." indeed!

(Download Fever - The McCoys)


And that's not all. Let's not forget the baby line, MIU MIU. One of my fave model, Abbey Lee Kershaw are frolicking and making mischief with dolled up Siri Tollerod and two other models in the video ad.



Yep, this is a great progress indeed! I truly await more revolution in this much beloved fashion industry!

More later!

XXOXOXOXOXOXOO

The Hoosiers : worst case scenario?

This UK band ( and I didn't know they're British until like today!!!!) is like my fave band in the whole world!
They're so good, with those catchy beats (ooh and their witty and celver lirycs!!!) that makes me wanna jump around and shake my body.
I can never actually say what their genre really is.
It's like pop meets disco meets rock meets punk meets a lot in between.
They even claim that their music is "odd pop", combination of loads of music genres.
It's so strange that The Hoosiers is not famous here in Indonesia.
But whatev, I never liked anything too mainstream anyway.
the first song that I heard is Goodbye Mr. A, which is like two years ago.
My faves so far, would be... Goodbye Mr. A and Worst Case Scenario.
If anyone has their full album (The Trick To Life), please please, please, I'm begging you to tell me where to download 'em!!!

Romancing MySelf Mixtape

Not much of a playlist, I'm afraid.

Well, i don't know, but lately I've been feeling lovey-dovey.
(yep, all those romance novels really brought out the worst in me)
Or at least, I missed feeling lovey-dovey (but it doesn't mean I want a new romance right now, no thank you vey much).
It's just it's been a while.. since the last of us.
Our togetherness. Midnight phone calls. Quirky lil e-mails.
Him whispering my name.
Ah, well. Those are surely neither here nor there now.
Still. This is pretty much my story.
Well, our story.
Right from the start ("Oh, it is love/from the first/ time I set my eyes upon yours"), with the awkward conversation ("I'd rather dance with you than talk with you"), silly flirting games ("Oh, love/such a silly game we play..") going out for coffee in Kakiang ("...about this ol' coffee shop that I love so much"), evening stroll in Ubud and the happy times, untill the unvoiced goodbye.
